Portfolio Management
Leo Wealth offers traditional asset management services. Leo Wealth provides asset management of
client funds based on the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals
and objectives based on the client's particular circumstances are established, we develop the client's
personal investment policy. We create and manage a portfolio based on that policy. During our data-
gathering process, we determine the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and
liquidity needs. As appropriate, we may also review and discuss a client’s prior investment history, as
well as family composition and background.
We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. You will authorize
discretionary management in your agreement for our Asset Management Services. If you have
authorized us to provide asset management services on a discretionary basis, we will make all
decisions to buy, sell or hold securities, cash, or other investments in your managed account in our
sole discretion without consulting with you before making any transactions. You must provide us with
written authorization to exercise this discretionary authority, and you can place reasonable restrictions
and limitations on our discretionary authority.
We will continuously monitor your account and make trades in your accounts when necessary.
Account supervision is guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation,
growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax considerations. We will monitor your account
and will make management recommendations and decisions regarding buying, selling, reinvesting or
holding securities, cash or other investments.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific productor service offered by a broker-
dealer or insurance company and will generally include advice regarding the following securities:
• Exchange-listed securities
• Securities traded over-the-counter
• Warrants
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Commercial paper
• Certificates of deposit
• Municipal securities
• Variable annuities
• Mutual fund shares
• United States governmental securities
• Options contracts on securities
• Interests in partnerships investing in real estate
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be
recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity
and suitability.
Other types of investment advisory services offered are as follows:
• Investment planning
• Asset allocation
• Selection & monitoring of affiliated and unaffiliated third-party alternative investments and
private offerings

However, clients may select any broker-dealer of their choosing. You will appoint Leo Wealth as your
investment adviser of record on specified accounts. Your account will consist only of separate
account(s) held by the qualified custodian under your name. We do not act as custodian and do not
have direct access to your funds and securities except to have advisory fees deducted from your
account with your prior written authorization. The qualified custodian will maintain physical custody of
all funds and securities of your account, and you will retain all rights of ownership (e.g., right to
withdraw securities or cash, exercise or delegate proxy voting and receive transaction confirmations)
for your account.

characteristics include a focus on Value, Safety, Payout, Quality, Momentum and Sentiment.

on above mentioned criteria. We utilize a dataset that quantitatively scores over 14,000 stocks globally

universe and peers to enable selection into portfolios. We overlay qualitative and sustainability screens
to supplement the portfolio construction process as needed.

on the client's particular circumstances are established. Based on the client's individual circumstances
and needs we will then perform management searches of various unaffiliated registered investment
advisers to identify which registered investment adviser's portfolio management style is appropriate for
that client. Factors considered in making this determination include account size, risk tolerance, the
opinion of each client and the investment philosophy of the selected registered investment adviser.

investment adviser(s) is not providing sufficient management services to the client or is not managing
the client's portfolio in a manner consistent with the client's objectives, we may suggest that the client
contract with a different registered investment adviser and/or program sponsor. Under this scenario,
our firm assists the client in selecting a new registered investment adviser and/or program. However,
any move to a new registered investment adviser and/or program is solely at the discretion of the
